Hi I'm Dr. Brooks Tiller. Today I'm going to show you an exercise that's going to help to tone your back while in the gym. To increase the tone of our back, we're going to really need to work those back muscles. This is going to increase your posture, help you prevent injuries because we sit most of the day. The exercise is going to be the renegade row. We're going to begin with dumbbells on the floor in a push-up position. We're going to have our shoulder, hip, knee, ankle all in a straight line with the dumbbells right beneath our shoulders and our hands on the dumbbell. We're going to lift one dumbbell towards our ribs, squeeze that back muscle and then we're going to lower it slowly. We're going to alternate to the other side. We're going to do three sets and we're going to do six reps on each side.
